I'm Ryan Hayes. I help software teams ship faster and businesses adopt AI with clarity.

I'm a customer-focused software leader who builds award-winning teams and products to serve them. I'm a former nine-time Microsoft MVP who has built award-winning apps in various industries, including publishing, education, and healthcare.

With a passion for high-performance cultures and teams, my focus is on improving how individuals and software teams get the most important things done faster. I also consult small and midsize businesses on AI systems, governance, and rollout.

When I'm not working, I'm being the best husband and dad I can be to my wife and four kids. I volunteer on the board at Founders Forge, helping entrepreneurs by putting on events like Startup Mountain Summit. I also play guitar at church and co-organize the TriDev developer meetup.
